** A CALL TO LIBERTY
------------------------------------------------------------
[link removed]
Is our vast media landscape merely one of sound and fury? Or is it evidence of our freedom? This month on A Call to Liberty ([link removed]) , Alberto Mingardi considers the question of mass media in a republic. In addition, Jessica Choppin Roney’s essay ([link removed]) on two 18th-century pamphlets written in response to the Boston Tea Party explores a political culture that had already spent years weighing this question - after all, the pamphlets were the social media of the 1700s.
We invite you to explore if increased news coverage – whether with the social media of today or with television as in Mingardi’s essay ([link removed]) – helps to keep us more informed, to present us with a wider range of preference-satisfying choices, and to generally preserve our freedom. Or does it achieve the opposite?
